The short story “ <u>Mericans </u>“ written by <em><u>Sandra Cisneros</u></em> is the story about children from Mexican descent living in America. They are trying to find their identity between these two worlds. They don’t use their Mexican names in America but easier sounding English names. Micaella (Michelle) narrates the story and she shows the differences between the two cultures, like in the excerpt what the dress code is for church and the woman trying to speak Spanish.
Question: The irony in this excerpt contributes most to which of the following themes?
Answer: B. It is possible for people to be connected to more than one culture.
I would say A.
B would be incorrect as most people don't have inheritance money. It wouldn't help you achieve financial security, either.
C could be correct, but not many people own successful companies.
D would be OK, but, unless you have a contract, you could lose your job fairly quickly.
A makes the most sense. You can set aside money for emergencies, etc.
Answer:
This quote means that suppressing the truth and deceiving the masses is the main way to start a tyrannical and oppressive government.
Explanation:
Tyranny is the opposite of democracy and is characterized as a government where the leader has unlimited power and can manipulate all the elements that make up society in any way he wants, even being able to serve his own interests and not the interests of the people. Tyranny is established mainly through the manipulation of the masses, where concepts, elements and real news are manipulated and present false statements where the truth is suppressed and thus the tyrannical government is able to maintain its control.
Kafka was Jewish and wanted to make a political point about anti-Semitism.
